Summary

Isreal has launched airstrikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs, marking the fourth attack since a ceasefire with Hezbollah. The targeting of areas where Hezbollah had underground facilities for drone production comes as Eid al-Adha approaches, causing panic among residents. Israel has been violating the ceasefire daily for seven months and has called on the U.S. and France to intervene. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the strikes, while Defense Minister Israel Katz praised the enforcement of ceasefire rules without compromise. The conflict, which began in November after a major war last year killing hundreds of civilians, continues with ongoing casualties.
